Chapter 323: Peach Fu for Spring Festival Couplets
In winter, Wei Renshi's favorite thing to do is to find a stall in the market in Weinan and sit down, while eating some food that can easily remind him of the days in the afterlife, while watching the crowd of people come and go.
For Datang, Wei Renshi always has a sense of alienation in his heart, and only in this scene like a snack street in the later world will he get a trace of comfort in a trance.
Most of the vendors in the market are from Wei Renshi's village, and the proportion is nearly ninety.
At the moment, there are already some discerning vendors who want to join the Weinan market, but there is no place for them. But there is another bank of the Wei River, which can also be opened into a bazaar, but at the moment Wei Renshi does not plan to do so. Blindly scaling up is a dangerous thing.
The vendors in the bazaar were the happiest. The money they earn every day from the Weinan Bazaar is something they could not even have imagined before.
And the management fee they need to hand over to the bazaar and the stall rental fee to Wei Renshi is only a very small part, which is really inconspicuous compared to their own income, so these people are even more grateful to Wei Renshi.
Therefore, seeing the end of the year, they also took out the things they had at home and sent them to Wei Renshi's house. In fact, they are all ordinary things that are not uncommon to Wei Renshi's family, but after all, they are a heart, and they are also a good intention, and Boss Shi has no choice but to accept them.
"If you don't collect it, you can't do it." Boss Shi smiled at Wei Renshi and said, "Xiao Lang doesn't understand these people. These things were all what they lacked before, and now because Xiaolang is rich, they want to make up for what they lacked in the past. These things are the best things in their eyes. It was sent to Xiaolang to thank Xiaolang for his support to them. How can they not know that Xiaolang does not owe these things? It's just to express this heart. If we don't accept it, it is inevitable that they will think that our family looks down on it, but they will accept it generously, which can make them happy. In the future, I will be more committed to Xiaolang. ”
Wei Renshi shook his head: "How can I not know this reason, I just think that they are better off, and they don't have to send large baskets and small baskets here." ”
The family has already begun to prepare things for the New Year, but seeing that there is still a month, Wei Renshi feels that it is a little early, but on the contrary, he also feels that it is quite New Year's flavor.
In later life, I don't like the New Year, there are too many things, I am tired for half a year, and I want to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to rest and rest, but sometimes the Spring Festival holiday is more tiring than going to work.
In fact, the Chinese New Year should be lively and lively to have an atmosphere. Just don't let yourself do anything. As long as you don't bother yourself, and you can be lively, that's a good year.
Such an idea will naturally not be realized in the future life, but at present, a large number of family members in Wei Renshi's family have arranged everything properly and in an orderly manner under the command of Boss Shi, and Wei Renshi does not have to care about it at all, which has fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
People are inert and have a desire to enjoy. If you can satisfy your desire for pleasure while satisfying your inertia, you will naturally feel satisfied.
Time passed slowly, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
went to the last trip of the New Year's Guard and announced that in the past few days of the New Year, those soldiers did not have to train, and they would celebrate the New Year in the barracks. Let the canteen prepare the New Year's meals, and also let the soldiers be able to make up for some regrets when they can't go home during the New Year.
After that, Wei Renshi went home in a hurry.
Before returning home, the people in the family had already begun to pick the old peach charms from last year.
Looking at the new peach charm that was hung up, there were only four words on it, "Shen Di" was written on the left, and "Yu Lei" was written on the right.
It's not pretty, it's not festive enough!
Wei Renshi shook his head, although the peach wood is red, although it looks high-end, where is the red paper piercing the eyes, it looks fiery and festive?
"Second brother dog, go, let people cut the red paper according to the length, width and narrowness of these peach charms at home, big red paper! And cut out some of these big ...... Forget it, I'll say it myself. Wei Renshi turned around and explained to Gou Er.
Paste the Spring Festival couplets, the Spring Festival custom developed from the peach symbol, before the Song Dynasty were all hung peach charms, from the Song Dynasty, the peach board was replaced with red paper.
The red paper that was ready-made at home, Wei Renshi took the second dog to let the subordinates find it, and Wei Renshi gave an explanation to the subordinates, couplets, horizontal criticisms, door frames, squares, etc.
Although everyone didn't understand what their son-in-law was going to do, since the son-in-law had ordered, they had to do it well, and immediately cut the paper according to Wei Renshi's instructions.
More people do things quickly, although there are many places that need to be posted in the mansion, but fortunately, there are peach charms before it, ready-made sizes, and it doesn't take much time to cut them.
After cutting the red paper, Wei Renshi went into the study, spread out a few pieces of paper, and began to recall the many Spring Festival couplets he had memorized.
I remember that in later generations, every time I had a winter vacation, basically every school would have a winter vacation homework that had to be assigned, and I would excerpt the Spring Festival couplets.
Wei Renshi still remembers that each student had to copy 50 Spring Festival couplets and hand them over to the Chinese teacher after the school started, from the time he was a student, to the time he became a Chinese teacher, from his own excerpts to the Spring Festival couplets copied by the students.
Every time the winter vacation starts, the Chinese teachers in the office will look through the Spring Festival couplets collected by their students, and if they encounter a good one, they will read it in the office and share it. I've really seen a lot of it, and I've remembered a lot.
The content of the Spring Festival couplets is not the same as the poems. It is not only required to be neat and tidy like poetry, but also to be joyful and beautiful in terms of content. It didn't take long for a lot of them to be written, and some of them were picked out to be used for writing later.
Soon, the next person had already brought the cut red paper.
Wei Renshi called Gou Er to come in to help, spread out the red paper, and then dipped the pen in ink, and wrote the Spring Festival couplets that Fang had just selected in his heart.
"New Year's celebration, Jiajie Changchun." Wei Renshi read it out with Li Chun's pen: "Okay, this pair is posted on the door!" ”
Wei Ren was really happy in his heart, this sentence is the earliest Spring Festival couplet recorded in history, whether he is good or not, he will occupy it first, wahahahaha! ……
The words written by Li Chun, Wei Renshi, can't say a doorway, but it looks beautiful and atmospheric, very good-looking.
The more I look at it, the more happy I feel, after posting it, Chang'an City is the only one!
Maybe this year, history will change, more than 1,000 years later, my former colleagues in the school told the students about the history of the Spring Festival couplets, it should be said that more than 1,300 years ago, Hou Weirenshi of Jingyang County of the Tang Dynasty was the first person to post the Spring Festival couplets. Haha, it's funny to think about!
There are a lot of places that need to be posted at home, so after I finish writing, it is already night. I told people how to paste it, and let them get up early tomorrow morning to paste the Spring Festival couplets, and this day has passed.
